Clearwater, FL - The Lisa McPherson Trust will host a reception
and press conference for Ursula Caberta, head of the Task Force
on Scientology of the Hamburg, Germany, government, at 10 a.m.
on July 25, at the LMT offices located at 33 N. Ft. Harrison
Ave. in Clearwater.

Mrs. Caberta will discuss recent revelations that German
Scientologist Antje Victore submitted fraudulent documents to a
Tampa, Florida, judge to obtain political asylum in the United
States. Scientologists have hailed Victore, who now lives and
works in Clearwater, as a martyr of religious persecution, but
evidence recently published in the German magazine, Stern,
suggests she left Germany to escape tax problems.

Mrs. Caberta, who knows Victore personally, will discuss the
evidence brought to light in the Stern article, written by
Christine Kruttschnitt.

In addition, Mrs. Caberta will highlight the activities of her
task force and the harassment to which she has been subjected
at the hands of the Scientology organization in Germany.

"Each day, every morning, Scientologists are picketing from 8
a.m. to 9 a.m. at my office. They tell my boss he has to fire
me," she said. "Fire her! Fire her!" Mrs. Caberta added that
Scientologists have also distributed fliers throughout Hamburg
that attack her character.

Mrs. Caberta will also discuss the case of a German former
Scientologist who has brought suit against Scientology in
Clearwater, Berlin and Copenhagen for lost wages and
imprisonment. The suit claims he was held prisoner for two
weeks in a six-foot square, windowless room in Clearwater, and
that he was subjected to "psychological torture."

Additionally, Mrs. Caberta will detail her extensive
investigation of commercial fraud by Scientology-run companies
in Germany, under the direction of Scientology's secular
business arm known as the World Institute of Scientology
Enterprises, or WISE.

Mrs. Caberta served as an expert on the Enquete Commission of
the Parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany, which
conducted an investigation of cults, including Scientology,
from 1996 to 1998. Prior to heading up the task force, she
served as the foreign and legal affairs representative in the
Hamburg Parliament.

of the event will be available at the website after the
conference. Press and/or government officials may contact
